Is possible to lift the tip of my nose without increasing the nose projection?

Hello Cheerful550603,

Thanks for your question. From the limited side view you could benefit from rasping your hump using micromotor devices and eliminating your droopy tip with a Closed Technique without a scar on the columella. A picture from the front could also determine other maneuvers which are required in your case, as the nose is a 3 dimensional structure.

Thank you for providing a photo along with your great question. It sounds like you want to make minor adjustments to your nasal tip without dramatically altering the appearance of your nose. Yes, a skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon can lift the tip of your nose without increasing your nasal projection. You may want to consider a tip lift to decrease the “hook” or “droop” of your nose. An experienced rhinoplasty specialist can also reshape the bones in your nasal bridge to minimize your dorsal hump while maintaining its prominence. Talk to a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to determine which type of rhinoplasty will help you achieve your desired outcome.

You could consider rhinoplasty for a tip lift, and for bridge lowering for a less distracting nasal appearance that is still masculine. Consult with several reputable rhinoplasty spewcialists so you could see what to expect. Thank you. Dr Joseph

It sounds like you may have been led to believe you need a tip graft but you don’t. If the tip is raised AND the bridge is lowered sufficiently you will get a proper readily. Sounds simple but some surgeons do not lower the bridge enough and compensate with trying to increase the tip projection will cartilage grafts. Also your tip needs to be raised a fair amount. It’s simple to do and I believe easier with a closed rhinoplasty.

Your "droopy nose", or what we call a nose that is too long, with a downwardly rotated tip, can be corrected without increasing nasal projection (the distance the nose pokes forward from the face) .

it is possible to rotate the tip upward without increasing its projection. In the photo your tip does not appear to be excessively down turned for a male . I presume when you smile the tip turns down somewhat more. In noses with extremely downturns tips that almost sit on the upper lip , upward rotation combined with an increase in projection is the goal . However in a nose with minimal downward deflection requiring minimal upward rotation this can be achieved without increasing the projection of the tip.

Thank you for your Question.
The operation will be done by using the latest Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty device Piezo®:
In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.
